Sigh... this topic always makes me itch to start writing speculative fiction again, but then I realize that I'm still grossly underqualified to do the possibilities here any sort of justice.
Also, I still have no internet. Grr.
Have a safe flight! :)

Hmph. Beware, for we shall torment you with absurdly life-like virtual mice. Or bears, only I don't think there are any in Myst III. I take no responsibility for Myst IV, though.
And... okay, so Hinata is really cool. I feel vaguely shamed, and want to go be brave about something. :)

Ah the literature

it's times like these that you wonder how accurate writers like gibson and stephenson will be proved to be.
